Reverberations from an Iraq prayer meeting
A local cleric's allegations against US soldiers prompts Iraqi apologies, underscoring postwar challenges.
A squadron of US Army scouts is finding itself drawn into an increasingly complex labyrinth of political and religious intrigue in one of Baghdad's poorest and most volatile neighborhoods.
In reaching out to the local community in Thawra, the 2nd Squadron of the 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment is forging a cooperative relationship with religious and civic leaders. Their mission: to lay the groundwork for a free Iraq governed by Iraqis. But not all religious leaders in this heavily Shiite Muslim enclave want to cooperate with US forces.
Second Squadron officers were shocked when - after arranging to provide US troops to bolster security at a massive prayer sermon last Friday - a local cleric used the forum to accuse US soldiers of using night-vision goggles to see through the clothing of Iraqi women. He also suggested US troops were passing out candy wrapped with pornographic photographs to Iraqi children. And he said that abducted Iraqi women were being forced to work as prostitutes for US soldiers.
Later in the sermon, the Islamic faithful were invited to engage in terror tactics against US forces.
The prayer sermon was attended by an estimated 30,000 Shiite men who endured 100-plus degree heat to hear the message. Such large gatherings were illegal under the regime of Saddam Hussein.
But rather than moving to arrest the speaker or attempting to shut down such large prayer sermons, American military officials demonstrated that they are different from Mr. Hussein. They told the clerics that they are free to express their views and gather in large numbers, but they should not spread false rumors.
"We are committed to freedom, but they have to be committed to freedom, too," says Lt. Col. Joel Armstrong, the squadron commander. Colonel Armstrong says he also emphasized to the clerics that he and his soldiers respect Islam and are not here to undermine Islamic principles.
The incident's repercussions played out all weekend, with various moderate clerics apologizing to the Americans after US commanders expressed concern about the content of the sermon.

CINCINNATI (AP) — The ball headed straight for Jordan Shipley. So did James Harrison.
Care to guess which one won?
The often-fined Harrison lowered his shoulder and helped knock the ball loose from Shipley near the 5-yard line on Cincinnati's final play, preserving a 27-21 victory over the Bengals on Monday night that left the AFC North with an old, familiar look.
IRVING, Texas (AP) — Jerry Jones never wanted to change coaches this season. As the blowout losses mounted, and Wade Phillips' defense was mostly to blame, the owner of the Dallas Cowboys had no choice.
Jones fired Phillips on Monday and promoted offensive coordinator Jason Garrett to take his place on an interim basis. Defensive line coach Paul Pasqualoni was promoted to replace Phillips' other role as defensive coordinator.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Jockey fights in horse racing are as much a part of the sport as whips, saddles and the $2 bet.
Most times, the dustups take place behind closed doors, not in the winner's circle.
And certainly not on national television following a Breeders' Cup race.
Reds fans were taken aback when Sparky Anderson showed up in Cincinnati for his first day as a big league manager, an unknown taking over baseball's first professional team.
Sparky who?
By the time he was done, this man with the shock of white hair and schoolboy nickname would produce a mighty list of achievements that featured three World Series titles — including crowns in each league — and a Hall of Fame entry on his resume.
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Buster Posey caught the final strike, started to rush the mound, then stopped and turned toward the dugout.
The rookie catcher wasn't quite sure what to do or where to go. Hard to blame him, either. It's not as if the San Francisco Giants win the World Series every day.
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Midway through Game 4, the speakers at Rangers Ballpark blared the 1960s Halloween favorite "Monster Mash."
More like a World Series mismatch.
Madison Bumgarner and the San Francisco Giants completely outplayed Texas once again, beating the Rangers 4-0 Sunday night to move within one win of the championship that has eluded them for so long.
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Fans jumped up and down, shaking orange pompoms, waving scarves and chanting "Sweep! Sweep!"
While the Giants are looking more and more like a baseball juggernaut, they're only halfway to their first World Series title in 56 years. They hope to wrap it up on the road.
Defending national champion Duke was a runaway No. 1 in The Associated Press preseason Top 25 men's basketball poll.
At the other end of the Top 25 there was big news Thursday with San Diego State entering the rankings for the first time ever.
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — All season, the San Francisco Giants counted on power arms to overcome a lack of pop at the plate.
A whole different team showed up in the World Series opener.
Freddy Sanchez hit three doubles, Juan Uribe launched a game-breaking, three-run homer and the Giants more than made up for Tim Lincecum's troubles, battering the Texas Rangers 11-7 in Game 1 Wednesday night.
Even more surprising, the Giants whacked Cliff Lee.
BOSTON (AP) — LeBron James and the Miami Heat were showered with chants of "overrated!" They sure looked that way in their debut as a team formed to win a championship.
The old Big Three of the Boston Celtics, playing under the franchise's 17 title banners, beat the new Big Three of James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh 88-80 on Tuesday night.

Our beautiful and very pregnant daughter-in-law wanted Red Lobster for her birthday dinner. Everything went great. Server was attentive and food was hot and good. All four had the 4 course meal. All were very good. Enjoyed our family time together.
The food is always decent there and of course, the biscuits are out of this world, but the place smells like they need to change the carpet!

We had a combination seafood platter and the seafood and salad were very good. The sweet tea and service was also very good -this restaurant is always a good choice for hungry patrons.
We were a party of 8 with a reservation. Still had to wait over an hour for a table. In defense of the restaurant it was graduation day and the place was really busy.

ASCO '12: Roche, ImmunoGen Drug Delays Breast Tumor Growth
If eventually approved, TDM-1 is expected to become a new standard of care for second-line treatment of metastatic, HER2-positive breast cancer, largely supplanting Glaxo's Tykerb, which posted 2011 sales of $372 million.
ImmunoGen will receive single-digit royalties pegged to the TDM-1 sales by Genentech in the U.S. and Roche in the rest of the world.
Roche continues to study TDM-1 in breast cancer patients with less advanced disease, which may help the company extend the life of its Herceptin franchise, which brought in $5 billion in sales last year.
Another Roche drug, pertuzumab, is already filed with FDA, which is expected to issue an approval decision on June 8, just days after oncologists leave the ASCO meeting here.
Pertuzumab, which will be sold under the brand name Perjeta, is similar to Herceptin in that it is designed for use in patients with breast cancer that contains an overexpression of HER2 receptors. Perjeta targets HER2 receptors but in a different way than Herceptin. This allows Perjeta to be used in combination with Herceptin or TDM-1. In a pivotal study, the combination of Perjeta, Herceptin and chemotherapy prolonged progression-free survival by six months compared to Herceptin and chemotherapy alone. This study enrolled women with previously untreated HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer. --Written by Adam Feuerstein in Boston.>To contact the writer of this article, click here: Adam Feuerstein. >To follow the writer on Twitter, go to http://twitter.com/adamfeuerstein. >To submit a news tip, send an email to: email@example.com.

Serves 6
- 1 1/4 cups half-and-half
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- a 15- or 16-ounce container whole-milk ricotta
- 1/2 cup sugar
- a 3-inch cinnamon stick
- a 2-inch strip of lemon zest removed with a vegetable peeler
- 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
- 1/4 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 cups blackberries
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon crème decassis
- 1 mango, pitted, peeled, and cut in 1/2-inch dice for garnish
- blackberries for garnish
Make the gelato: In a saucepan whisk together the half-and-half, the milk, the ricotta, and the sugar, add the cinnamon stick, and bring the mixture just to a boil, stirring. Remove the pan from the heat, add the zest, and let the mixture stand, covered, for 10 minutes. Force the mixture through a fine sieve set over a bowl and stir in the corn syrup and the vanilla. Chill the mixture, covered, until it is cold and freeze it in an ice-cream freezer according to the manufacturer's instructions. Pack the gelato tightly into six 1/2-cup dariole or other molds, cover each mold with plastic wrap, and freeze the gelato for 30 minutes, or until it is ready to be served.
Make the blackberry sauce: In a heavy saucepan melt the sugar over moderate heat, stirring with a fork, and cook the syrup, swirling the pan occasionally, until it is a golden caramel. Working carefully and quickly, stir in the water, the blackberries, the lemon juice, and the crème de cassis (the mixture will bubble up), stirring until mixture is combined well, and cook the mixture over moderately low heat until the caramel is dissolved. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve set over a bowl, pressing hard on the solids, and chill the sauce, covered, until it is cold.
Divide the sauce among 6 dessert plates, unmold the gelato, and arrange it in the center of the plates. Garnish each serving with some of the mango and the blackberries.

Limited Edition:
1000 Pins
SKU Number:
Original Price:
Members Trading
Members Wanting
This pin was originally part of a framed set offered exclusively to Cast Members. Produced for the 25th Anniversary of Walt Disney World and sold at Company D stores during the 25th anniversary in 1996. While similar to (#1063), the construction is different for the pins in this set. The 1st 25 anniversary pins were recreated in cloisonne. The originals were either plastic, buttons, or in one case, a ribbon.
It features Cinderella's Castle in extremely dark blue in front of the white with gold highlights Spaceship Earth along with "15 Years" in red under the castle. The bottom of the pin is a dark grey oval with the same deep blue color used for "Happy Birthday." The old Walt Disney World logo is in gold at the bottom.
Note: There is a smaller, non-LE version of this pin which is not currently listed on Pinpics, which has been confused with this pin. This particular pin measures 1 5/8" (40 mm) wide by just over 1 1/2" (39 mm) tall. The backstamp is, "© DISNEY." The smaller verion of this pin is about 1 1/4" tall and not as substantial.
Note: As with all the pins in this set, there will be residue from double-sided tape Disney used to hold the pin firmly to the matting of the framed set.

Ginger is a spice undeniably suited for the cold, frigid months of the year. It provides a cozy feeling when being baked that can easily lure one into the kitchen, taunting you with aromatic nostalgia of a simpler time of bicycle races with the neighborhood kids and afternoon cartoons.
This cookie is hearty and should be a celebrated figurehead of the holiday season. It could easily pass for molasses cookies, but the best part is that it only contains 1/4 cup and not half or *gulp* even a whole bottle of that heart stopping delicious stuff!
Big Soft Ginger Cookies
Slightly Adapted From allrecipes.com
2 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 tablespoon water
1/4 cup molasses
2 tablespoons white sugar
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, mix flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate large mixing bowl, cream together the melted butter and 1 cup sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg, then stir in the water and molasses. Gradually stir the sifted ingredients into the molasses mixture. Shape dough into walnut sized balls, and roll them in the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar. Place the cookies 2 inches apart onto an ungreased cookie sheet, and flatten slightly with tines of fork.
Bake in oven for 8-10 minutes. Remove and allow to cool on wire rack.

Super Stripes ~ Longer
Also found in:
♠ DreaM Stockings ♠ Thigh Highs ♠ Stripes ♠ Made in the USA ♠ Eco Friendly ♠ Larger Feet ♠ Autumn
As requested, longer Super Stripes. At nearly 50 inches from toes to tops, this length brings them nicely to the tops of 30-35 inch legs. They are not any bigger around at the tops than the Super Stripes and still won't be comfortable on thighs larger than 22 inches. Made in the USA.
One size for the medium to large foot range of 9-13 (they can fit on smaller feet if you aren't picky about where the heel sits). Just like the other Super styles, these can be loose, particularly around the feet & ankles.
The 4 inch cuffs stretch to about 21-22 inches around, and the body of the sock stretches to about 18 inches.
These can be a bit loose around the feet and ankles.
Fiber Content: 65% recycled cotton, 15% acrylic, 20% spandex.
Machine or hand wash in cold to cool water; tumble dry low or hang to dry.
Label: Dream Stockings
Hello, do you have a catalog tha can be mailed out....Looking for Plus size, over the Knee socks or tights.....
Hi there, do you have any intention to release other colour combinations on Super Stripes ~ Longer? In particular black and green.
I am confused on what the third column of numbers is asking for? Is it foot size? Please explain.
Can I request these in a colors other than listed? I understand that you more than likely can not get them in other colors, I was just wondering since I can't find any striped socks in the colors I do want.
Thank you so so so much for providing socks in a variety of sizes, and testing them and providing detailed size info! I just got the Extraordinarily Longer Thigh Highs, and they fit on my big ol' legs! And the lace/corset top thigh highs-- and they fit too! It's so awesome to be able to find tall hosiery that fits!

The contract calls for nine EC 635 helicopters to be supplied to the Portuguese Army.This contract signals the first commercial success for the EC 635, which is the military version of the EC 135 twin-engine helicopter. This makes the Portuguese Army the EC 635 start-up customer.
The nine helicopters will be used for fire support, medical evacuations, and to help civilian populations in emergency situations.
This contract is part of a broader plan to create an Army Air Corps in Portugal. Eurocopter, along with the French and German armies, will provide specialized assistance in the Army Air Corps project.
The first deliveries will be made in the year 2001, and will be completed within 9 months.
The Eurocopter group will provide a 150 % offset as part of the contract. The Portuguese aeronautics and defense industries will be the biggest beneficiaries, and will play major roles in the program. Cooperation between the three countries' (Portugal, Germany, France) aeronautics and defense industries will thus be reinforced.
In the 1960's, The Portuguese Air Force acquired a fleet of Alouette III and Puma helicopters, and was the Puma's first export client. These contracts were the basis of a long-standing cooperative effort between Eurocopter and Portuguese industries, such as OGMA, which has become an important site for assembly, maintenance, and modernizing for this class of helicopter.
This contract is yet further proof of the confidence that the Portuguese Defense Department has in the Franco-German company's helicopters, and of the excellent relationship existing between the three countries.
It should be noted that two types of powerplants are available for the EC 635. The Portuguese have chosen the Arrius 2B1, manufactured by Turbomeca (the other available option is the Pratt and Whitney PW206B). Each engine develops a power of 590 kW (791 shp), and the maximum take-off weight of the EC 635 is 2,835 kg.

Homebuilder Shares Rally After Orders for New Houses Rise
April 26 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. homebuilders rallied to the highest in almost two years after four companies reported an increase in orders and contracts to buy existing homes climbed more than forecast, signs that the housing market may be reaching bottom.
Ryland Group Inc., based in Westlake Village, California, had the biggest gain among builders after reporting a 46 percent increase in orders. Its shares rose 14 percent to $21.62 at the close in New York, the largest gain in three years. The Standard & Poor's 1500 Homebuilding Index of 11 companies climbed 4.8 percent to the highest level since May 2010 after PulteGroup Inc., M/I Homes Inc. and Meritage Homes Corp. also reported increases in orders.
The rising demand for new homes is an indication that housing is finding a low amid improving U.S. employment. The index of pending home purchases rose 4.1 percent to the highest level since April 2010, the National Association of Realtors reported today. The median forecast of 43 economists surveyed by Bloomberg News called for a 1 percent gain.
"The momentum is building for the homebuilding industry, and the numbers speak for themselves," Brad Hunter, chief economist for Metrostudy, a Houston-based firm that tracks housing starts, said in a telephone interview today. "All around the country, traffic is improving and the quality of traffic is improving. When somebody comes into the sales office, they're more likely to pull the trigger and sign a contract."
New Home Sales
New homes sold at an annual pace of 328,000 in the U.S. in March, up 7.5 percent from a year earlier, the Commerce Department reported April 24. The median estimate in a Bloomberg News survey forecast a rate of 319,000. The U.S. unemployment rate was 8.2 percent last month, down from 8.9 percent a year earlier, according to Labor Department data.
Publicly traded homebuilders may be taking market share from private firms because they have better access to financing and are able to buy land and build in the best locations, said Robert Curran, a managing director at Fitch Ratings Ltd.
"We're seeing for the public builders, pretty broadly, some pretty healthy improvement," he said. "It's clear nationally that we are having a more normal-type spring selling season."
Ryland's backlog, an indication of future sales, rose 44 percent, and revenue increased 29 percent, the company reported yesterday after the close of regular U.S. trading. Its net loss narrowed to $5.1 million from $19.5 million a year earlier.
M/I Homes
M/I Homes, based in Columbus, Ohio, reported a 15 percent increase in deliveries and a 17 percent increase in new contracts. Its shares gained 8.6 percent today.
PulteGroup Inc., the largest U.S. homebuilder by revenue, had a narrower first-quarter loss as it reduced costs and sold houses at higher prices. Orders rose 15 percent and the company's backlog climbed 12 percent. Shares of the Bloomfield Hills, Michigan-based company rose 10 percent today.
D.R. Horton Inc., the largest U.S. homebuilder by volume, earlier this week reported earnings that beat analysts' estimates, its fifth straight quarter of profitability.
"It was the first quarter in several years that fundamental demand came in stronger than expected, allowing us to beat our forecast for the period," Chief Executive Officer Richard Dugas said in a conference call with analysts. "We are pleased with how the year has started off, including a continuation of better sales activity thus far in April."

'Lois Ehlert's Mole Hill Stories' casts a spell on theatergoers of all ages
In the beginning, there was a nearly blind mole in the dark woods. Less than one hour later, that same mole could see all the way to the moon, inspired by a fellow creature making the seemingly impossible journey there.
These bookends hold "Lois Ehlert's Mole Hill Stories," Alvaro Saar Rios' adaptation of three of Ehlert's children's books. A collaboration between First Stage Children's Theater and Danceworks Performance Company that's designed to expose young children to theater, it opened Saturday morning under Desiree Rosas' direction. »Read Full Article

Reviews for Roasted Chicken Noodle Soup
Sort By :
"So VERY good. Could also be called Chicken Pot Pie Soup. Will be making again many times."
"Amazing soup my kids and husband love this"
"Delicious, I did make a couple of changes. I used raw chicken which I cooked with the vegetables, I used sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes, added 2 bay leaves, additional salt and poultry seasoning, and some pepper and lemon pepper to taste."
"This soup was fantastic. It's a great way to use leftover chicken and homemade broth! The leftovers essentially absorbed all the fluid so I added a little more broth when reheating it, but it was still great! I'll make this again for sure!"
"I made this soup yesterday per the recipe "except" I didn't bother to measure the noodles so I'm sure there were more than the recipe called for -- I will know next time to measure since more noodles absorb the liquid & is more like a stew than soup. It was very good and my husband loved it (he does most of the cooking) & said it's a keeper. I will definitely be making this again with the required amount of noodles. Like any cooking it does take time to cut up all the veggies but my husband came in the kitchen to be my assistant pre chef so it went faster. By the way one other major change I made was that I used leftover cooked turkey instead of chicken. I do this all the time so didn't even think about when I started writing this review. I freeze leftover turkey from the holidays and use it in casseroles, soups, barbecue etc."

I concur. The Ecoboost V-6 is amazingly responsive in any gear and at nearly any speed, making this Flex equally adept at scooting around town and performing quick passing maneuvers on the highway. It's also quiet - turbo-whine is minimal - and refined - shifts are smooth and well-timed.
Although I'm not usually enamored with SUVs as a genre, I find the Flex such an easy vehicle to live with. Its squat, upright proportions make ingress and egress a breeze and the low, flat, rear load floor is ideal for bringing whatever you need with you. The vertical rear and side windows allow for a mostly unencumbered view of the world outside and the interior is attractively finished and comfortable. As a total package, it's very well-thought out and extremely easy to use day to day despite its large footprint. Add the Ecoboost and the Flex becomes even more user friendly. The Ecoboost V-6's abundance of easy acceleration makes an already great package even more desirable.

You can get a mentor who is a professional scientist or engineer in industry or government through MentorNet. Apply online at MentorNet.net at anytime during the year. Open to Dartmouth men and women undergraduates, graduates, post docs and junior faculty.
The purpose of WISP's Research Internship Program is to provide meaningful research experiences that will positively impact the retention of young women who have expressed an interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). The program focuses on first year (and some second year) students because of their high motivation, but also their high potential for attrition from the sciences. It is specifically for women students because their overall attrition rate from STEM disciplines continues to be higher than that of their male peers. First-year women are eligible for research internships in any science discipline. Sophomores can apply for research internships in chemistry, computer science, engineering, math, and physics. Student interns are paid hourly wages for two terms of part-time research with a faculty mentor.
The WISP research internship program is sustained by committed faculty mentors (new and experienced) who are willing to work closely with these young women and carefully guide and support them though one of their first research experiences. All tenured, tenure-track, and research-track faculty are eligible to supervise undergraduates in the program. The category of research-track faculty includes research assistant professors, research associate professors, and research professors. Those with other types of appointments may supervise undergraduates with approval from the relevant department or program chair, director, or dean. Examples of other types of appointments include: visiting faculty, adjunct faculty, emeritus faculty, lecturers, senior lecturers, and instructors. Graduate students and post-doctoral fellows may serve as assistant research mentors in collaboration with a faculty research mentor. Faculty mentors may be in any of the following:
Funding note: WISP is able to fund a limited number of interns per year. We encourage any faculty mentors who have research funding available to support their own intern(s) so that more students can participate in the program. Mentors who do not have funding to pay interns are still invited to participate, and WISP will fund one intern per mentor up to the limits of our budget. Mentors who wish to work with a second intern must support that student's wages. |

This showed up last year at a friend's house; she cut it down when it got too big and it has re-appeared this year. So... it's a perennial and it's pretty hardy to have survived last winter in the Hudson Valley. She says the leaves are about 18" long. Not Plume Poppy or Rhubarb. Any ideas? WW |

First off, I miss all of you and most of all the conversations. My patient just went back to school so unfortunately I am there all day with him and once work is over I am a busy super mom I never have any time to just sit.
So I am sure that I am m/c, the spotting has picked up and is now a red light flow. No cramping or clots as of yet which I know the worst is yet to come hoping it does not happen when I am at school with my patient since I can not leave him. Ugh, and thats the part I hate the most just waiting it kills me. I just wish it was over with fast but my body always seems to take the long route and just slowly let go. Hurts physically and emotionally. DH is supportive and still has hope even though I know what's to come because my body is telling me all the signs. I feel bad and utterly hopeless. DH and I agreed once OB comes back we will start further testing and try to figure out the problem. Looking hopeful to the future and possible answers to all our problems.
I'm very very sorry to hear that, and I hope that you are able to get the answers that you need.
Unfortunately, we have all been through loss on this board, and we understand what you are going through. We are here for you. Please take care of yourself and be gentle with yourself throughout this process.
I'm so sorry! I hope it happens at the best possible time for you if it's going to.
I'm glad to hear you are going to have some testing done. I really hope you can get some answers and hopefully a simple solution can be found. Please KUP. I'm sure I'll be around the TTCAL board so come update us on your testing when you get to that point.
I am so sorry you are going through this. Is there any way you can go see another doctor to see what's going on? I really hope that's it's a subchorionic hematoma and not a m/c. I agree with everyone, I'm glad you're getting additional testing done to finally get some answers. (((HUGS)))
Thoughts are with you as you go through this. Like Alissa said we have all been there. Just know you are not alone and I sincerely hope you find some answers.
Thank you all for you sweet thoughts. Went to OB today just to check that everything is progressing naturally with the m/c OB said I have passed almost everything and there is a little more that is right at my cervical opening that I should be passing within the next 4 days. I am going to wait to follow up with testing once I have stopped bleeding. However, OB (mind you this is not my reg OB just a fill in) said that testing would not be necessary because I already have a healthy normal child therefore testing would come back negative and that I just have to try and try again until I finally carry a healthy pregnancy. LOAD of crap! ALL I wanted to do once leaving the office was burst into tears. I left feeling even more hopeless then I ever have before.
Oh I'm so so sorry to hear all of this! Sorry about your loss and sorry to hear what that doc told you. That absolutely is a load of crap! I wish I were there to give you a real life hug. (((hugehugs)))
I really hope you don't give up after this. I really believe if you find a good doctor that will be proactive and help you find anwers it will make all the difference.
Please KUP on where you go from here once you get past this and begin to move foward.
That's CRAP. Find another doctor, stat!
-Alissa, mom to Tristan (5) and Reid (the baby!)
Got an opinion? We've got a board! Come join us for some lively debate on the Face Off! Debate Arena board.
I completely agree 100%!!
I know he's not your normal OB but I still think you should find a new doctor at a new practice. Look them up and read reviews before you call. Remember that doctors work for YOU. You deserve answers and a doctor that is willing to go above and beyond for you. Trust me, finding a doctor you completely trust and makes you feel like you're getting the best care out there is priceless.
I wish you much luck on your TTC journey and I hope to see you back here soon with a sticky BFP!

The GO Dev Team, the people who brought you the popular apps GO SMS, GO Weather, and GO Launcher, are at it again, bringing you a contacts manager and dialer that is, quite frankly, stunning, both in functionality and aesthetics. It dropped into the market not 12 hours ago and is already getting very popular as well as garnering great reviews. Let's take a closer look, shall we?
The Motorola XOOM: Ever since it was first teased at D: Dive Into Mobile, the Android community hasn't been able to take its eyes off the tablet's dual-core processor, gorgeous 10.1-inch display, and - last but certainly not least - Android 3.0 (Honeycomb) operating system.
Well now the device has officially gone on sale, and I've been testing falling in love with a review unit for the last few days. Typically, I end up hating devices that I adore at first blush, but the XOOM is an entirely different story - the device is far from perfect (where are the tablet apps?), but I have yet to find anything truly upsetting about it.
If you remember, during Google's Honeycomb showcase in the beginning of the month, one of the tablet-optimized apps demoed was made by CNN. Considering CNN is one of the Honeycomb/XOOM launch partners, the new app showed up in the Market like clockwork for an easily digestible price of free. For those who need a refresher, here's the video from the presentation again:
The CNN app features a swipable navigation bar on the left-hand side and a grid story layout on the right side.
Great news for those who have pre-ordered Notion Ink's first tablet, the Adam: they're starting to ship. Notion Ink has apparently just received their first large shipment, and posted their own unboxing and hands-on photos, while some pre-order customers now have tracking numbers in their hot little hands. Very exciting, no?
First up are the shipping details, courtesy of Adam fanblog AdamLogs. Looks like the person behind the blog has found that there's now a link to "Check Pre-Order Status" on the Notion Ink website.
Just days after Kaz Hirai teased the world with talk of Sony's future in smartphones, tablets, and the PlayStation brand (all without confirming or denying the existence of a PlayStation phone), Chinese site IT168 has posted an in-depth review of the engineering version that they managed to get ahold of. Not only is the PSP Phone very real; from the looks of it, the device is almost ready for prime time.
Well, well, well, what do we have here? The device Engadget found in LG's CES booth (see the thumbnail above and the video at the source link) could very well be the long-rumored Optimus Pad. The 8.9-inch device, which is said to be powered by a Tegra 2 dual-core processor, is something I have been lusting after for a while now.
While we can't be sure that the device in the thumbnail is the Optimus Pad, it sure looks a lot like the render below.
While Motorola's certainly got a few exciting devices in its pipeline - the dual-core Olympus and the Honeycomb tablet both look extremely intriguing - it looks like the company also plans to launch something considerably less high-end: the sequel to its first Android phone ever, the Cliq.
Cell Phone Signal was sent the above pictures of the Cliq 2, formerly known as the Begonia. As you can see, it features a relatively nondescript profile - not too bulky; not amazingly thin - as well as a honeycomb-like keyboard design.
Sprint's current WiMax-capable phones are no slouches, but there's no denying the lineup could use a third phone, if only for the sake of keeping things fresh. The HTC EVO Shift 4G could be just what the doctor prescribed - it looks like the love-child of the T-Mobile G2 and the original EVO 4G. In fact, according to PhoneArena's tipster, the G2 and the Shift 4G share the same processor - an 800MHz Qualcomm MSM7X30 unit - though the latter has inherited the EVO's plastic casing (lame) and HTC Sense UI (also lame).
The Samsung Nexus S has already shown off its camera once, but up until now, we haven't seen what that 5MP shooter's capable of when it comes to video recording. Well the wait is over, as a (portrait) video shot by none other than the GT-i9020 has hit YouTube:
The quality is more or less what we've come to expect from 720p video taken by a cameraphone, though it certainly won't blow any minds.
The folks over at XDA-developers have prepared an exclusive treat for all of us who are patiently (and impatiently) awaiting both Gingerbread and the Nexus S. One of their sources managed to get ahold of the upcoming flagship device from Samsung, which, as we all know, runs Gingerbread. He even spilled some beans on the specs:
- ArmV7 CPU
- Open GL ES Supported
- 512 or 328MB Ram (Not 100% known)
- 1GB or 2GB Internal Memory (Not 100% known)
- 800×480 Screen Resolution
- 4″ Screen Size
- SuperAmoled2 – Possibly
- 720P HD Video
Update: There was an update posted over at XDA claiming that the CPU is indeed a dual core Orion Cortex A9 running at 1GHz:

"Four Years After The Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill, The Gulf Is Still Suffering" "In his 34 years living in Louisiana, Ryan Lambert can't remember ever seeing young, dead dolphins on his trips out in the Gulf. In just the last few months, however, he says he's seen two. Lambert, who owns a charter fishing company in Louisiana, told ThinkProgress he's worried that the dying dolphins he's still seeing point to lingering effects of the Deepwater Horizon disaster, which four years ago killed 11 people and spewed 210 million gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico. "We still see little telltale signs," he said. "There's crabs with holes in their shells we're seeing that we haven't seen before, and I've never seen baby dolphins die." Still, in the four years since the BP oil spill, it's clear some places in the Gulf are still reeling from the effects of the millions of gallons of oil and chemical dispersants that doused the water. On Cat Island in Baratria Bay, a habitat that was once thick with mangroves and hosted hundreds of pairs of nesting nesting pelicans, all that's left now is "bones of black mangrove stumps" as the Times-Picayune reports. The island is also quickly eroding, a process sped up by the oil, which still lingers in the island's marshy soil and has killed off the trees that help bind the soil together. "We're in a system in Barataria Bay that's already facing severe erosion, but it was clear that as this oil came ashore, and it stressed or killed plants, it was entirely predictable that we would see a higher rate of erosion on those shorelines that got oil," David Muth, Director of the National Wildlife Federation's Mississippi River Delta Restoration campaign, told ThinkProgress. "So you're compounding a problem that already existed." Muth's team at NWF has been monitoring Cat Island carefully since the spill. Last year, he said, the island's mangroves appeared to be dying, but there were still birds nesting on the island. But this year, there were no birds, and all the mangroves had died. But Muth said he's most worried about the characteristics of the oil that are among the hardest to measure. These volatile organic compounds (VOCs) - the compounds that form the sheen on the water during an oil spill and contribute to the spilled oil's abrasive smell - wash up on shore and spread through the marine and land ecosystem, accumulating in plants and animals. The amounts of the VOCs accumulate as you go up the food chain, until you get to top predators, which may have significant levels of the compounds. Muth said scientists likely won't know the effects of the compounds for years, but in higher concentrations, the VOCs can lead to reproductive issues and possibly mortality in wildlife. The NWF released a report this month that documented how the spill was still affecting Gulf wildlife, including dolphins, sea turtles, bluefin tuna and sea birds, a report BP disputed. But NWF scientists made clear that much of the research on the spill's effects hasn't yet been published due to the ongoing trials related to the spill, making accurate documentation of the spill's effects difficult. Other research is still ongoing. Samantha Joye, a professor at the University of Georgia who studied the effects the spill had on the seafloor and water column immediately after the spill, is staying in the Gulf for the month of April to look at whether the seafloor near the blowout site still show signs of degradation. "No one has visited these sites in a human-occupied submersible since 2010, so we are very eager to evaluate the health of these locations firsthand," Joye said in a release. "Populations of many organisms living in the water and on the ocean floor were seriously damaged by the blowout, so we want to know how things have changed since December 2010." Despite the ongoing impacts of the spill, Lambert is hopeful that the resiliency of the Gulf ecosystem will allow it to recover from the impacts of the spill. Muth said he thinks some of the land - like Cat Island - is likely too degraded to recover, but he wants Louisiana to rethink the way it manages the lower Mississippi River, so that the river can start building deltas again. It's something he says the state is coming around to, but the NWF is still trying to find the funding and political will to implement some marsh restoration projects. Some of that funding, he said, could come from BP's contribution to the Natural Resource Damage Assessment. "We can't say what's going to wash away, but we can start building new marsh and start helping to sustain the existing marsh by putting river water and sediments into it," he said. "It's too late to go in and patch up this piece of shoreline and that piece of shoreline that got damaged, because it's already a declining system. Instead, we need to find a way to get the system healthy again."" And in eight years, where will the health of the Gulf be? |

Too much money to be made not to flush it all down the toilet. We will spill and pollute and poison our world so long as there is profit in it. It's not gonna stop in time,is it? The writing is on the wall and it's like nobody's looking at it. We're gonna kill ourselves,aren't we? |
I'm eating frozen shrimp from China, hope it is safe... |
As the posted article references Samantha Joye, what are your thoughts about her published and broadcast comments last week, along with the joint effort that's underway now between the U of GA and the Woods Hole Institute. As a scientist who is in the midst of active research, she appears to present a somewhat different view than the guy most cited in the OP. |
"It's not gonna stop in time,is it?" If you mean will governments aggressively legislate against the extraction of fossil fuels, yes, that is very unlikely. "We're gonna kill ourselves,aren't we?" If you mean will our species become extinct in a time scale similar to, say, the extent of our use of fossil fuels so far, then that is also very unlikely. |

hello all, quick question. I hear that the roots of Bougainvillea are rough, tough and very hard; is this true? I planted 2 Bougainvillea next to my house wall, and plan is to have the vines climb up the chimney and wall. Should I be concerned about the roots of the 2 Bougainvillea i planted effecting my house foundation, wall or something like that? will it be ok or should i move them in planters? thanks |

Hi & welcome to Gardenweb! Bougainvillea will not climb up a wall on its' own. Do you have a plan for attaching it? Knowing where you are would help folks best advise. Sorry, not familiar with the strength of the roots... |

NJ cop's sense of smell leads to $10 million pot bust - The smell of marijuana from a chimney lead to this record bust
Maybe that is something worst than a car up on block next to a $1 million McMansion.NJ cop's sense of smell leads to $10 million pot bust
The smell of marijuana from a chimney lead to this record bust
By Sam Wood
Philadelphia Inquirer
PORT MONMOUTH, N.J. A patrol cop with a sensitive schnoz was credited today with uprooting what authorities say is the biggest marijuana-growing operation in New Jersey's history.
Police last month raided six homes - several of them $1 million McMansions - and seized more than $10 million worth of cannabis growing inside under artificial lights, authorities announced today.
"While law enforcement in New Jersey has encountered high-tech indoor marijuana growing operations in the past, we have not seen anything to match the volume of production of this criminal enterprise," said state Attorney General Paula T. Dow.
The bust might not have happened if Officer Thomas Lucasiewicz had been suffering from a head cold. The Monroe Township cop was on patrol Feb. 12 when he smelled burning marijuana in an upscale Middlesex County community.
At first, Lucasiewicz thought somebody might be smoking a joint in a car parked nearby, said Sgt. Steve Jones, a state police spokesman.
"But with his bloodhound senses, he realized it was much stronger than he first thought," Jones said. "He followed his nose. Then he saw smoke rising from a chimney."
Overpowered by the scent, Lucasiewicz called his squad. When backup arrived, Lucasiewicz knocked on the door of the single-story ranch house.
They were greeted by a surprised man, "the gardener, essentially, who was burning some of the unusable parts of the plants in the fireplace," Jones said.
Lucasiewicz arrested the gardener, Thu N. Nguyen, 44, and, realizing he had uncovered a huge grow operation, called in the state police.
Inside the rented home, investigators found 1,064 plants in four cultivation areas set up in the basement and the master bedroom. In the garage they found 50 pounds of packaged pot.
During the following week, state police raided five more rented homes in Millstone Township, Old Bridge, Manahawkin and Manalapan.
"They each had been turned into pot factories," Jones said.
Along with a vast array of indoor cultivation equipment, police seized 3,370 growing plants, 115 pounds of harvested marijuana and $65,000 cash from the four homes.
"These were not run-down houses," Jones said. "These were high-end homes in affluent neighborhoods. Several of them were worth in excess of $1 million and rented for $4,000 a month."
Jones said illicit growers usually don't operate out of their own homes because the houses are subject to forfeiture.
The growers took the liberty of modifying several of the homes, cutting 16-inch holes in the floors and ceilings to accommodate vents and ductwork, Jones said.
Six people, all of Vietnamese descent, have been charged with running marijuana cultivation facilities. They were also charged with theft of services for bypassing utility meters. Three remain at large and are believed to have fled the country, Jones said.
Nguyen, a Canadian citizen, remained at the Middlesex County Jail after failing to post $1 million bail.
Tuan A. Dang, 35, of Port Monmouth, and Ngoc H. Bui, 35, naturalized U.S. citizens who were both arrested Feb. 18 at the Millstone Township operation, were charged with maintaining a marijuana-growing facility and other counts. They both remain lodged on $1 million bail each at the Monmouth County Jail.

France's famed wine region puts on a friendlier face for non-experts.
What makes wine in Burgundy such a seamless and quotidian cultural phenomenon is, in part, the system of wine sales. In Bordeaux, by comparison, wine is treated as a commodity: at en primeur tastings each year, when unfinished wines from the previous harvest are tasted and judged according to their potential, wine becomes a product bought on speculation the way stocks are bought and sold on market speculation. The stories of wine in Bordeaux are told numerically, as data, as figures, as highs and lows.
In Burgundy, on the other hand, the stories of wine are told through the texture of relationships. The system of sales, compared to that of Bordeaux, happen person-to-person in Burgundy, often at the garage door of a very small-production winery. Sales in Burgundy are a question of scale; the smaller scale invites more personal interaction, which sets a more welcoming tone for visitors who are new to wine.
"I doubt we'll ever see the day where domaines in Burgundy will put out signs for tasting rooms," Pope said. "But they are becoming friendlier about it."
Though Burgundy wine has a well-entrenched reputation for premium price points, there has never been as much high-quality Burgundy wine available at reasonable prices. "Not all Burgundy is Grand Cru," Pope said. "You've got lots of quality wine like basic Bourgogne Blanc or Bourgogne Rouge, plus wines from the Macon for under $20."
More reasonable prices for Burgundy wines, along with a more friendly attitude toward wine tourism, both mark a significant shift in the region. But they aren't the only noticeable differences. Another very indicative difference, if you believe some long-time visitors, is the number of wood chips on the floor at tastings.
Kurt and Gisela Keuenhof, of the town of Bad Ems in Germany, have been coming to Burgundy since 1980. They drove to Beaune in March this year for the Grand Jour tastings and they drove home, as they do every year, with "10 to 20 cases of wine in our trunk." When they first started coming to Burgundy 30 years ago, "the floor of the tasting rooms were covered with wood chips," Kurt Keuenhof said. "We liked it, it was more rustic. Today it's very professional and very organized."

Spring Style Preview: We Have Been Expecting You
The world's boldest designers have been thinking about you yes, you for their spring collections: a man who wants to take risks but still look like himself. Here, War Horse star Tom Hiddleston tries on the best of the lot and shows you how it's done.
Tom Hiddleston Was Not Expecting Any of This
ESQUIRE: You've had a hell of a year: Midnight in Paris, Thor, War Horse, getting naked with Rachel Weisz in a small movie called The Deep Blue Sea. Have you checked out FuckYeahTomHiddleston, the Tumblr feed that's been documenting your success?
TOM HIDDLESTON: I'm ashamed to say I was made aware of it quite recently. I have, with a cursory eye, glanced at the articles, but I don't think it would be good for my vanity to scour it with a fine-tooth comb. I haven't got a Ph.D. in FuckYeahTomHiddleston.
ESQ: If only there were a feed called FuckYeahWarHorse.
TH: I spent six weeks in boot camp before we started shooting, learning to ride horses like it was second nature to me, and they're amazing animals. The horses are really the stars of this movie, even though it's about a very human notion one I think Steven Spielberg feels a great attachment to that somehow hope will survive in even the most horrific circumstances, like the theater of death that was no-man's-land in the First World War.
ESQ: You play an English cavalry officer during the early days of that war. Coming after Thor, which relied heavily on CGI effects, War Horse was made the old-fashioned way. With actual horses.
TH: Not only that, but in one scene, I was really leading a cavalry charge of 120 horses, tearing across this field at forty miles an hour for four hundred meters. I felt the thunder of 480 hooves in my ears. Tears were streaming down my face because I was going so quickly. I was screaming hell fury. There's no acting required in that situation. And when you compare that to Thor, you had Chris Hemsworth [who played Thor] and I [playing the villain, Loki] surrounded by green screens so much of the time. Everything had to be created in my imagination.
ESQ: Is it true you knew nothing about Midnight in Paris until you showed up to the set?
TH: It is. At the end of shooting Thor, I got a letter in the mail on Woody Allen headed paper. And it said, "Dear Tom: I'm making a movie" I always imagine his voice like [Hiddleston goes into a decent Woody Allen accent], "I'm making a movie in Paris this summer. I've enclosed some pages. I'd like you to have a look at Mr. Fitzgerald. I'd love you to do it. Let me know what you think. Best wishes, Woody." I'd never met him. I never auditioned. Nothing. He must've seen my demo reel. So I read these pages, and this character seemed to be interacting with characters called Zelda and Ernest. I thought, Woody Allen is asking me to play F. Scott Fitzgerald. And because I hadn't read the whole script, I didn't know what the film was about until I turned up on my first day to shoot in Paris. I saw Owen Wilson and he had to explain the story to me.
ESQ: In May, you'll play Loki again opposite half of Hollywood in the super-superhero movie The Avengers. Is this the career you wanted when you started acting?
TH: It's beyond. It's completely beyond my expectations.
ESQ: What were your expectations?
TH: My projection of the future as a twenty-five-year-old was completely off target. For some reason I thought I was going to be a theater actor. It felt like the doors of film and movies were definitively closed to me. I thought to myself, A life in the theater is a noble thing. It's really fun and full of the nicest people in the world. I never thought I'd be in a big superhero movie. Twice! Two of them! And yet here I am. The door opened and I walked through.
